Holy shit, I just realized that the greatest TES game ever was released a little over 10 years ago.

The last time I played it was in 2008, yet I remember every single thing so vividly, how is this even possible? Guess only truly amazing games can have this kind of effect on people.

Any of you tried re-playing the game recently (or playing it for the first time)? What's it like? Is it still good or is it unplayable garbage?
>>
It's pretty damn hard to play, even with mods.
>>
>>339350406
Back when Bethesda's NPC interaction just seemed retarded instead of horribly broken and fake

Fuck voiced protagonists, "radiant" dialogue (or whatever they call it), and the dialogue wheel. The old system works and is so much better aesthetically & technically
>>
>tfw I don't remember anyone from Morrowind or Skyrim
>tfw I remember the whole Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion
>tfw every playthrough I get so attached to them I feel fucking bad for having to kill them

Why does Oblivion feel like the only TES game where you're an actual character with some personality living, doing interesting stuff with actual impact on you and teaming up with other actual characters? Morrowind and Skyrim feel so... impersonal.

What mods should I have if I want to play Oblivion for the first time?

/v/ keeps telling me it's better than Skyrim, so I might give it a try after all. It only took me ten years though, lol.

>>339350684
In Skyrim you were constantly reminded how goddamn special and powerful you are. In Oblivion, you're a common chump who gets wrapped up in the story of the chosen one. One is lazy writing, the other isn't.
>>
>>339351005
Just don't level. That's all you need to do to keep the game fun.

I preferred Skyrim personally, but some of the quest lines in Oblivion are way more memorable.

Unofficial patches, Oblivion Reloaded, and Oscuro's overhaul are essential.

The world is empty, characters and vegetation look like made out of clay, combat is stiff and clunky, AI is utterly terrible, dialogues are Skyrim tier bullshit, the whole game is too easy in general. Even mods can't help. The only decent Bethesda game is Morrowind, and I don't like it either.

games are just becoming more and more anti-consumer now because idiots have allowed them to be. its sad
we're already seeing games launching with dlc levels for quicker experience or money grinding. then when those things exist and people don't seem to mind, now theres incentive to make the main game a bit more grindy then it would have otherwise been to encourage people to buy the dlc
it hurts the overall quality for everyone when developers feel that the best way to profit from their games is to use development and art resources to pump out as much microtransaction bullshit as possible
and we have no one to blame but the community. throwing millions and millions of dollars at gta5 online for what exactly? and then you expect these developers to make a good game when all they can think about is how rich they just got off of a few extra bits of data?
and now blizzard has just taken it to new levels with overwatch and wow and hots and especially hearthstone. they have figured out the secret. people are actually retarded. whatever value you tell them something is worth they will pay it. 60$ for you to move a bit of data from one server to another? sure. 20$ skin in our shit moba? no problem.and now overwatch. spend endless amounts of money getting RANDOM shit
and its not to just pick on blizzard either. everyone is doing it. why wouldnt they? idiots keep buying.

daggerfall is weaker than arena in depth to character mechanics, and has by far the worst mechanics for navigation of the world (brick doors)

that is why battlespire and redguard were such large departures
daggerfall's reception was terrible, because the game was terrible

Man Oblivion was such a shit disappointing game when it came out but a lot of assets you normally couldn't fix with mods like story, quests, music, and memorable NPCs were at least good. 10 years worth of mods can easily fix a good chunk of Oblivion and make the game really enjoyable, I can't find one good thing about Skyrim because you can't mod out it's garbage story, quests, and NPCs without making an entirely new game of itself ANDORAN FUCKING WHEN

I dread the day people of /v/ unironically praise Skyrim because all the 1:22 HORSES CONFIRMED hype leading leading up to its release was such a disaster. I'm surprised anyone still buys Bethesda games after that pile of shit.

In Oblivion you could easily mix it up with Magic because it worked fine in it and wasn't dogshit

The npcs constantly repeat the same lines of dialogue to each other. You constantly find bandits wearing glass and elven armor at high levels. And the enemies are all bullet sponges.

Stop drinking the koolaid.

Unless you knew what you were doing Oblivion would break and become unplayable given enough time. I remember my first time encountering a dread zombie. Ended up just saying fuck it and making a new character.

Skyrim's magic was fine. It just didn't scale as insanely as cycled smithing insanity.

Best part of skyrim was that mooks stayed mooks and you didn't see bandits wearing daedric armor.

yes, when he asks you to kill him, and you do, because that is the only way to leave the arena, you get a message that the dark brotherhood has witnessed your murder

>Better than being able to kill everyone and having a broken game you can't complete as a result
it really isn't, removal of player freedom is never a good thing
essential npcs weren't made up because of players destroying the questlines though, it was made because of the npcs that wander the paths of the world and are rendered unconscious dozens of times instead slain outright because they encountered a bear in the forest

I don't know why they didn't just implement a system where the characters stay essential towards all NPC attacks, but the player could still kill them if they wished to.

I think Skyrim even had a system like that already implemented, but the majority of the NPCs still used the essential tag instead of the protected tag anyways.
>>
>>339356149
Oh yeah of course. Oblivion's quests for the most part were better than skyrim's with the most obvious exception being the main quest.

The only reason to discuss Oblivion's main quest is to discuss why it's unredeemable shit. The only reason to do it is if you really want to farm those awful hellgates or whatever for full chameleon gear.

Oblivion focused more on bestiality and intricate questlines involving bestiality, there were some questlines involving slavery and stuff too, but nothing major.

Skyrim is heavily focused on bondage gear and slavery. The most popular mods deal with creating such scenarios on a sandbox scale.

Whichever you choose, they both also have indepth rape mods to pick from as well, for both the NPCs and the player.

Hasn't aged well, but the same can be said for all Bethesda games, when you look back on them.

Nothing will beat the magic of playing through the first hours of each Bethesda game during it's heyday, but once you've played several hours you begin to see through it and become more and more jaded to the many quirks and bullshit Bethesda tends to have associated with their games (even where mods assist to make the game better/replayable)

I think it's safe to say Bethesda has little room to improve the replayability of their games after mods pick up the remaining scraps (nothing that mechanic fixes, bug fixes, or DLC can aid)

I did replay it recently, still had a lot of fun. The game still holds up pretty well imo. Although nostalgia probably has something to do with me enjoying it so much. Oblivion is my favorite Elder Scrolls, and I played Morrowind first.
Main reason I prefer it over Skyrim is because it has a lot better quests imo and more unique feeling NPC's with better dialog (although the dialog system is a bit silly). The world just had more personality compared to Skyrim, where almost every quest and NPC seemed pretty uninspired to me, the world just felt kind of bland and generic to me compared to Oblivion.
I do dislike some things about it though

I don't think you've seen what bricks look like in real life. They usually have a bit more mortar, and the mortar isn't perfectly smooth like that. The bricks aren't also so smooth with such rounded edges.
